Literature on war in Afghanistan?
We at the University of Pittsburgh are planning an international PEN event that will involve bringing together contemporary creative writers who have written (in English or translated into English) on war in Afghanistan. Although the dominant focus is on the US and Soviet wars, we are potentially interested in the broader late 20th century, including the Saur revolution (the so-called “Communist insurrection”) (1978); the Soviet–Afghan War (1979–1989); the civil war (1989–92; 1992-96; and 1996-2001), and the US invasion (2001– 2021).

If you happen to know works (authors, titles) that could contribute to this project, I would be grateful if you could send information to me at condee@pitt.edu.

Resident Directors must be proficient in the target language and typically have experience studying, working, or traveling in the host country.

In-country partner institutes are responsible for administering the academic curriculum. Therefore, the Resident Director position is a non-teaching position. 

 

A full list of available Resident Director positions is available at https://www.americancouncils.org/careers
